Pupillage Vacancy Information
About Authorised Education and Training Organisation and Structure of Pupillage
Millennium Chambers is a relatively new, established Chambers located in London. Chambers provides legal advice in several areas, including but not limited to serious and organised crime, general crime, fraud and financial crime, cybercrime, and civil matters.
The Chambers comprises a range of junior barristers and King’s Counsel barristers – the clerks understand the specialist practices of each barrister and are happy to assist in all matters of suitability, availability, and fees. Millennium Chambers contains high-quality barristers who are responsive, skilled, and adept at handling cases of the utmost sensitivity and complexity. Members of Chambers accept work directly from professional organisations and corporate clients under the Public Access rules.
Further information on Chambers ethos and services provided can be found on the Millennium Chambers website at https://millenniumchambers.com/
Millennium Chambers seeks to offer one 12-month criminal pupillage with the opportunity to gain experience working with different barristers who deal with various cases.
Training and supervision from pupil masters is to be provided to the pupils on a one-to-one basis. The pupil will also be able to work with other experienced barristers in-house and externally.
Pupillage will encompass the Chambers’ general policies and training requirements already in place for the barristers who are already a part of the chambers; to that end, the Bar Standards Board’s (BSB) guidance and Code of Conduct provides the framework within which Millennium’s pupillage policy is interpreted.
During the Second Six Pupillage pupils are expected to be busy with their court work with the possibility of working alongside their pupils supervisors and/or other members of Chambers.
Financial and Other Support Available
Partially Fixed: £24,203 per annum
Equality Diversity and Inclusion
Millennium Chambers is a set firmly committed to the active promotion of equal opportunities and to always ensuring an absence of direct or indirect discrimination on the grounds of race, colour, ethnic or national origin, nationality, citizenship, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, marital status or civil partnership, pregnancy, and maternity, disability, age, religion or political persuasion.
We recognise that such a commitment requires that positive steps be taken to identify and eliminate possible areas of discrimination to ensure equality of access to all applicants, equality of treatment to all barristers and members of staff and equality of service to professional and lay clients.
We believe everyone should be afforded equal dignity and respect and be judged on merit and ability, free from judgments or treatment based on prejudice or assumptions of collective characteristics. Accordingly, our policy is intended to provide a framework that promotes and advances equal opportunities within Chambers and delivers a process that appropriately resolves internal complaints made by any member of chambers, pupil, or staff.
Our Equality and Diversity Officers are Simon Russell Flint KC and Nathan Lee-Walsh, who can be contacted through our main switchboard.
